The charger’s overhead design helps to maintain a safe environment. Installed on the ceiling of a garage, the 3722 Garage Overhead Charger keeps the system’s charging cable and connector a safe distance away from hazards such as water, other automobiles and salt. Additionally, the system’s retractable cable prevents tripping hazards and inhibits vandals from easily accessing the unit. The design meets regulatory standards that mandate live cables must be off the ground.

The system includes an automatic electronic cable management system. Upon activation, the system automatically lowers the EV battery charger connector to 121.9cm (48 inches) above ground-level, a height that accommodates drivers with disabilities. The user can then extend the cable to plug it into the charger receptacle on their vehicle ­– whether it is located on the nose, side or rear of the vehicle.

The 3722 Garage Overhead Charger from EVSE can be activated locally with a wired or wireless, wall-mounted pushbutton or handheld FOB. EV charger networked activation methods include: credit card, magnetic stripe and mobile app. An optional Payment Module is available with serial or Zigbee connections for facilitating communication between the 3722 and the Payment Module.

Power is continually monitored during charging. If the voltage deviates from the acceptable range, or if the load current exceeds the maximum level, the charger disconnects power to the vehicle. When the driver removes the connector from the vehicle, the connector and cable retract to the original overhead position within the charging station and are locked in place.
